company Gry & Sif, which has been working with the production of
felt products in Nepal since 2000.

From the very beginning, it has been important that all work should take place under
fair and orderly conditions, and that workers should be paid a decent wage for
their work. It was therefore with great pleasure that egos was certified
by the World Fair Trade Organization in 2009.

Over the years, egos has been involved
in various development projects in cooperation with local NGOs, for example
the women's organisation TEWA, as well as DANIDA. We have also provided financial support to
including an orphanage in Nepal's capital Kathmandu, as well as to workers and their
families.
